Voluntary Sector funding applications for community transport 2018-19

Purpose:

To
consider applications for grants to provide community transport
services in 2018-19

Decision:

The Cabinet Member agrees that, under
authority delegated by the West of England Combined Authority
(WECA), the funding proposals in Appendix 2 to the Report be
approved and implemented.

Reasons for the decision:

The recommended awards will ensure the
continuation of existing community transport services and will help
the Council meet its objectives.

The Council’s Public Transport Team has
considered the applications against set criteria (see Appendix 1)
and assessed value for money by comparing the cost per trip of
comparable schemes, based on the information that applicants
provide.
